UK-Africa investment summit: Africa is poised for a major economic boom, and its potential has made it a battleground for global powers seeking influence. With competition among these powers intensifying, virtually every major player now seeks an audience with African leaders. To this end, the United Kingdom is preparing to host the next UK-Africa investment summit, following similar events held by the US and Russia earlier this year.

UK-Africa investment summit

The British Foreign Ministry has announced that the second edition of the UK-Africa Investment Summit will be held in London in April 2024. The UK Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, will host the major UK-Africa summit on 23-24 April 2024. According to the statement from the British Foreign Ministry, heads of state and government from 24 African countries, as well as CEOs from various companies, are expected to attend the UK-Africa investment summit.

According to the UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly, this summit aims to affirm the UK’s position as a “leading investor in Africa” and will build on its “successes since 2020, which have combined the strengths, innovations, and expertise of the UK and our partners across Africa to support reliable, sustainable, and long-term investment.”
